Roasted Broccoli

Getting my family to eat their veggies takes some doing.  I need to be creative so I tried roasting some broccoli florets for dinner.  I was not disappointed. The broccoli  had a deep green color,  was  crisp, not mushy, and had an intense but not overpowering flavor.   The spices  used in this recipe complimented the flavor of the broccoli.
